Terraria

Terraria is a small indie game developed by a team of 3 people. The game isessentially a 2D Minecraft, players dig, craft and fight. The gameplay is extraordinarily addictive as you dig to find new and better resources to create better items and develop your base. The game features a more RPG like system than Minecraft which everyone seems to be comparing it to with bosses and world events. What’s really astounding about the game is how well it’s doing, over 50,000 copies were sold on its first day, outselling (on Steam) huge AAA games such as Portal 2 and The Witcher 2, which can be attributed to anticipation amongst certain gaming forums.

Notch's Minecraft truly is a phenomenon in gaming. In a couple of short years, the deviously-simple sandbox building game represents everything fundamentally great about indie game development. Going from a project created in the bedroom of the aforementioned Markus 'Notch' Persson and since riding on the back of nothing more than word alone (up until now, Minecraft has been entirely self-published), the game has now been played by millions and, along with it, earned its creator millions in the process.

Pid Review

You come to realise that Pid is quite an odd game, emerging from the sea of recent indie platform games with an odd combination of politeness and eccentricity. This gaming premiere of Swedish developer Might and Delight casts you as Kurt, a schoolboy stranded on a distant planet after falling asleep on an intergalactic bus.
